King Abdullah University of Science and Technology launches scholarship program

The KAUST Discovery Scholarship will provide full tuition, a living stipend, book and computer allowances, and summer and career enrichment programs to qualified science and technology students at their home institutions prior to the University's opening in September 2009. Upon graduation, these students will enter KAUST as master's degree students in September 2009 and 2010 and complete their studies on a fully funded scholarship.

"The launch of the KAUST Discovery Scholarship program is another important step in turning King Abdullah's vision of a world-class research university in Saudi Arabia into reality," said Nadhmi Al-Nasr, interim president of KAUST. "We are looking for exceptionally talented and motivated students - led by an equally extraordinary roster of faculty - who have a thirst for knowledge and an adventurous and creative spirit."
